Trip parking sounds like a way to get around the max p/u. That impacts junior people by alleviating the need to hire more pilots to fill schedule. It takes trips out of the pot that a junior person could have picked up to help him make a little more while staying in the parameters. Sounds like plain greed to me.

To stop funding/growing the 401k and allow inflation to eat away at the principle would be incredibly foolish, IMO. But if you're a "sky is falling" kinda guy, then knock yourself out. Just my opinion, FWIW.

Heck the last ever NW painted plane period, unless more 5500 757's leave Marana for ferry to SAT.
Everything else is painted including all former Airlink planes I'm certain. And the other 5 are in Sanford already.

I'm here!!!! Finally done with my butt whooping by crew sched... 1 day off in the past 13...
Our crew sched needs some SERIOUS work. I have deadheaded more the past few months than ever. My straight credit (no premium) last month was 86 hours. I flew 54. 32 hours of deadheads.
Today I flew SLC-SMF, and deadheaded SMF-SLC-ATL. An ATL rsv copilot deadheaded from ATL-SMF to fly SMF-SLC and then layover... a leg I was perfectly legal to fly.
So I flew with a big wig recently...
-320 and 330 to ATL early in the year... DC-9 to ATL later in the year.
-The WDR metrics will be out soon and we'll be able to "fix" the stuff we've been doing.
- Not happy with the way OCC dealt with the latest IROP... we're actually still recovering... Look for continued tech changes as well as improvements with ACS coming... stuff like that.

Didn't ask, sorry! Brotha doesn't get out of the office too much these days.. didn't want to overwhelm him with the usual "HEY SO ABOUT ____..." stuff.
I did make sure to voice my opinions on outsourcing, D0, and others.

Question for you 737 drivers.
I was riding in the back of one today in MSP and it was snowing. After we'd been de-iced, while we were taxiing the power periodically came up quite a bit so that we were moving at normal taxi speed holding the brakes with the thrust up to what sounded like about what you'd need for a cross-bleed start (but both were running). This happened about five times for about 5-10 seconds each time.
Does it have to do with the anti-ice system or something? It was -SN at the time.
